WASHINGTON — Two more people have died in the protest violence surrounding Venezuela’s struggling economy and rising crime rate. Protesters demand the resignation of current President Nicolas Maduro, who is a socialist and protege of the deceased Hugo Chavez.

Reuters reported that a Venezuelan soldier and motorcyclist died in a fight between security forces and protesters, who have camped out and barricaded streets in the capital city of Caracas.
